Uh, why don't you just lurk your way back over to Rafters and talk a bit more about how K just copies Cal and Duke cheats but UK is clean as a baby's bum?
Meh, I'll just head back to the national board. Sorry to bother.Uh, why don't you just lurk your way back over to Rafters and talk a bit more about how K just copies Cal and Duke cheats but UK is clean as a baby's bum?
Oh no no no, don’t you go acting all polite and beaten down with ME, young man! Duke rules, Cats drool!
You're right, I am beaten down and Cats drool. I read the thread, and just wanted to try and share current knowledge. I didn't mean to offend you. I'll leave your board alone, I was bored and lurking.
If I may, about 10 other states are about to come out with something similar. That will put it around 14 states in a matter of days.
Being "polite" on homeboards is to blame.
What am I gonna do, come here and talk about.....no interest. Just lurking and adding info.
If you want the full unedited version of @lurkeraspect84 just subscribe to the national board.

You have put me in my place and rightly so. I appreciate knowing your background because it provides important context for your opinions.
If you think about it, this is basically a "get outta jail free card" for the NCAA. The inevitable was gonna happen, however this still keeps all of the NCAA money with guess who?? The NCAA. The money that the players will be receiving will come strictly from 3rd parties (sponsorships, autograph signings, etc.)
I really don't get how anyone can be against this. We will no longer see the poor 18 year old kid suspended for the season because he took a free $150 dinner. Honestly, does anyone at all like reading about those types of stories????

That is possibly the first time I've ever seen anyone say anything remotely like that on the internet. It is so reasonable that I'm not even sure how to respond
Good stuff, and no problem at all, sorry if I came off snarky.Get a roomThat is possibly the first time I've ever seen anyone say anything remotely like that on the internet. It is so reasonable that I'm not even sure how to respond
Call me old fashioned, but college players should be amateurs, not paid pros. They are getting a free education and having fun doing it. That should be good enough.
I disagree. Think about about the millions the universities make off these players with sports. Also, you have football players who are putting their health at risk, while schools make millions off them.
Anyone who doesn’t think they should be able to profit off their NIL, has their head in the sand. I think the argument is how it will be done.
It's a shame that the NCAA won't get in front of this situation and create some rules around how to do this. One of the reasons CA didn't have the law go into effect immediately was so the NCAA could get something together. It appears like they are just going to keep doing nothing and screw this whole thing up.
